Researchers explore how gradient descent adapts neural network capacity to tasks

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework to explain how neural networks adapt their capacity to specific tasks during gradient descent training. The study identifies three key dynamical principles—mutual alignment, unlocking, and racing—that contribute to reducing a network's effective capacity. These principles help explain phenomena like neuron merging and weight pruning, offering insights into the lottery ticket hypothesis by detailing how certain neurons acquire higher weight norms. AI

    It's Not a Lottery, It's a Race: Understanding How Gradient Descent Adapts the Network's Capacity to the Task

    arXiv:2602.04832v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Our theoretical understanding of neural networks is lagging behind their empirical success. One of the important unexplained phenomena is why and how, during the process of training with gradient descent, the theoretical capacit…
